From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the free community fair will be rocking with inflatables, outdoor games, local vendors, food, and enough fun to make you forget you just ran a small (but mighty) marathon.

Run for Fun, Give for Good: Every Step Supports Diabetes Care!

Here's the best part! Every dollar raised helps diabetes patients at CHI St. Alexius Health Williston. Think dental and eye exams, education, equipment, and supplies. As diabetes educator Deb Bronson puts it, “Not all insurance plans cover the tests needed for diabetes management.” This event helps fill that gap—with 100% of the proceeds going right back into the community.
